V2V communication is being promoted as a safety feature. It involves a transmitter on/in the dashboard transmitting data about speed, location, and direction of travel at such close intervals that it is essentially continuous so that the vehicles can warn about or even take evasive action to avoid impending collisions. As far as I can tell, no attention has been paid to the serious public health risk that continuously exposing the cars occupants, as well as bystanders, to biologically active levels of RF. Additionally, no attention has been paid to the environmental costs either. This would lead to monumental increases in RF radiation in the vicinity of roadways, compared even to what we have today. Please read about the serious and even deadly effect that radiation from wireless technology is having on trees (www.electricalpollution.com/WirelessKillsTrees.html).

In this docket the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is seeking to MANDATE V2V technology in ALL cars.

On Monday March 13, the Sacramento Superior Court ordered the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to release the Department's cell phone use guidance document without superimposed markings.

This cell phone radiation safety document, originally prepared in 2010 by health professionals in the CDPH Environmental Health Investigations Branch, has been suppressed by political appointees over the years.

Attached is the pdf file of the Reykjavik appeal on use of wireless technology in schools. The names of all 133 signers from 24 countries are included.

Please, feel free to use the Appeal as you want, post it on your Web site, make your school aware of it etc.

As all know the fifth generation of mobile communication (5G) is to be launched in the near future withouta thorough evaluation of potential health effects. Our research group considers measurements of current environmentalexposure to RF radiation to be of importance, not the least for comparison of levels in the future.Thus, we include two recent studies on measurements in Sweden:

Also, Paris will reduce the exposure of its inhabitants to electromagnetic waves by 30%, under a charter with mobile operators to limit the maximum level of antennas to 5V / m. Paris "thus becomes the most protective metropolis in Europe, ahead of Brussels, which set a threshold at 6 V / m. These are extremely stringent standards, "Julien Bargeton, Finance Deputy Mayor PS of Paris Anne Hidalgo told the press. Electromagnetic waves, which the WHO (World Health Organization) considered to be "potentially carcinogenic", are suspected of being harmful to health. This charter, which renews a previous agreement already "the most binding of France", decreases from April 1st of 7 V / m to 5 / Vm the threshold in the 2,240 relay antennas present in Paris as well as those to come.

Hong Kong Residents urge government to tighten regulations on cell antenna installations, claiming to be adversely affected by such radiation from rooftop telecommunications transmitters. Pastor Mike Liu was shocked when his younger sister was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour at the age of 30 in 2012. She died just a year later as the cancer was aggressive. He was dealt two furtherblows  his father was diagnosed and later died of oesophageal cancer in 2015, and his mother was diagnosed with early stage lung cancer a year later. Liu, 38, claimed this was no coincidence. He blamed it on transmitters, which reside on the roof of the family home, a Tenants Purchase Scheme estate in Sheung Shui. Half of the 24 sets installed at the estate are above their unit on the 27th floor, the top level.

Parents had Wi-Fi switches installed in a Finnish school

In the Fiskars primary school located in Raasepori in Southern Finland parents have long struggled against Ipad and Wifi based learning. They couldn't prevent the installation of Wifi hot spots, but their struggle had results: now in every class room there is a switch by which the radiation emitting hot spot can be turned off.

Electromagnetic Radiation Safety: New DevelopmentsThe news media have its hands full covering the fake news generated by the White House while Congress and the FCC are planning to de-regulate the wireless industry to pave the way for 5G. Instead, amoratoriumon 5G and small cell siting should be declared until we adopt protective RF safety standards.

March has been a busy month for research and policy developments regarding cell phone and wireless radiation safety. Following are links from myElectromagnetic Radiation Safety websiteto some new developments.

"When I look at what happens with smart meters, in particular, I'm actually concerned it is putting our homes, our nation, and frankly some of the power suppliers at significant risk."

"The power that's provided to our homes, our businesses, and to our government offices here are put at risk with the addition of these smart meters. That is a risk that is not entertained when you have an analog meter."

Millions of Smart Meters May Over-Inflate Readings by up to 600%

Lab tests carried out by Dutch scientists have shown that some of today's "smart" electrical meters may give out false readings that in some cases can be 582% higher than actual energy consumption.

The study involved several tests conducted on nine different brands of "smart" meters, also referred to in the industry as "static energy meters." Researchers also used one electromechanical meter for reference.

California Department of Public Health Releases its Cellphone Safety Document

Electromagnetic Radiation Safety, March 2, 2017 (6:00 PM Update)

Prior to the judge's final ruling in Moskowitz v. CDPH, the California Department of Public Health released its cellphone safety document to the San Francisco Chronicle this afternoon.

This "fact sheet" summarizes research on cell phone radiation health risks and provides safety tips on how to reduce cell phone radiation exposure. The document highlights a potentially greater risk to "pregnant women, children, and teens." The safety recommendations are similar to those issued by the Connecticut Department of Public Health in May, 2015.The CDPH document is marked "released pursuant to Moskowitz v. CDPH, Sac. Super. Ct. No. 34-2016-8000-2358" and "Draft and Not for Public Release."

Dr. Ann Lee, MD, tells about her 7-yr old son who gets chest pains whenever he visited the public library's 2nd floor with wi-fi. She found many studies showing adverse biological effects from wireless radiation on children who developed nausea, headaches, skin rashes, chest pain after their schools installed wi-fi networks. Also other studies showing increased stress proteins, increased DNA fragmentation in sperm, increased brain cancer, link to autism, EHS symptoms such as impaired memory, concentration difficulties, headaches, sleeping problems Other school district LAUSD has established wireless exposure limits that are 1/10,000 of FCC limits. Precautions taken by other countries such as France, banning wi-fi in preschools and turning it off in elementary schools when not in use.

Sharp Rise in Colorectal Cancers Among Young Adults

Between the mid 1980s and 2013, colon cancer incidence rates for people in their 20s and 30s rose by one to 2.4 percent per year. And for people in their 20s, the rate of rectal cancer increased 3.2 percent every year between 1974 and 2013.

First State in the Nation: Maryland State Advisory Council Recommends Reducing School Wireless to Protect Children

Many members of the public participated in Council meetings and contributed documentation relevant to these deliberations; we appreciate their input and dedication. While this report focused on WiFi radiation in schools, there are additional concerns about mobile phones and cell phone towers. CEHPAC plans to take a look at these broader issues over the next year.

The Israeli Institute for Advanced Studies (IIAS) and Environmental Health Trust (EHT) organized an 'Expert Forum on Wireless Radiation and Health', in Jerusalem, Israel, Jan. 23 - 26, 2017. Conference was organized by Charles (Chuck) Greenblatt and Devra Davis. Videos of the majority of the presentations are available now on YouTube. Conference presentations are marked

It hints at a significant role for a range of factors in the development of such disorders, notably including: exposure to persistent environmental pollutants (e.g. heavy metals and pesticides), toxic mould fungi, and non-ionising electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radiation (EMR).

The author, Julian Glassford, is a UK-based expert patient who has himself battled with ME/CFS over a number of years. Personal experience and insights along the way helped to motivate and inform this work, and he hopes that it will help shine a light on environmental health hazards and the true nature of certain 'invisible' illnesses.

Besides ME/CFS and FMS, by extension his work further pertains to other, somewhat interrelated, idiopathic environmental intolerances (IEI) and sensitisation disorders. These include Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS).

Initial concerns were raised by Lancashire police after it was introduced, when almost 200 police officers began to experience symptoms of nausea, malaise, head pain, insomnia, skin complaints and two cases of oesophageal cancer (Farrell, 2002; Police Federation News, 2005).

Emissions from an electric drill would have interfered with 61% and 16% of pacemakers at maximal and nominal sensitivity, respectively, according to the research letter in the Feb. 28 issue of Circulation.

Twenty residents from around New Mexico also unanimously objected to the proposal at the PRC hearing. Many raised concerns about the health implications of installing wireless technology in homes, which they say adds significant electromagnetic radiation to the environment and can cause ailments such as headaches, insomnia, rashes and cancer.

UK - Smart Meter frequency change

The Register reports EDMI, the UK maker of residential smart meter comms hubs, is planning to change the RF module to enable operation on 868 MHz as well as 2.4 GHz

The redesign was triggered in 2014, according to a source familiar with the matter, after Data and Communications Company (DCC), the Capita subsidiary managing the UK-wide smart meter project on behalf of government, found a dedicated Zigbee wireless home area network (HAN) using 2.4GHz alone would not allow smart meters to work properly in every UK home.
